It seemed that Julian Alvarez's move to Atletico from Manchester City was a done deal. However, everything turned out to be far from so clear-cut.
As reported by Fabrizio Romano, Atletico's first contract offer did not suit the Argentine striker. It was lower than what he had hoped for.
Alvarez took time to think about his decision. It is known that Atletico does not plan to make a new offer, and if the player really wants to move to the Madrid club, he must respond with an agreement now.
Earlier, it became known that Atletico and Manchester City reached an agreement on the transfer for 75 million euros + 20 million in bonuses.
Last season, Alvarez appeared in 36 matches of the English Premier League, in which he scored 11 goals and made 9 assists. At the Copa America 2024, which ended with the triumph of the Argentine national team, the Man City forward played 5 matches and scored 2 goals.
